Window fixed, or rather, secured

He initially just put some cardboard and duct tape over it, but then noticed some more major cracks running up the window so suggested that he could board it up as it might be a few weeks until a glazier comes to replace it.

I called emergency maintenance, because it does qualify as an emergency repair (even though he came to "fix" it on Wednesday and I just didn't notice...). And the bloke who fixed it was from... Drumroll... McPeake!

He was actually pretty chill though, called the bloke an idiot, and said that he absolutely should not have even come to "fix" it without notifying anyone. Technically he did notify me, he said on Tuesday he'd come by the next day to fix it. But he still should've knocked, and he absolutely should not have just tried to do a runner after breaking the window. Tosser.

Dear PC gamers who work an office job:

Do you find it weird to be at a PC all day and then play PC games at home or is it just me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I guess I never really thought much about it so it never really clicked with me that it was weird.

Maybe because work is work. Home is home.

Made my burger and ate it.

Super messy affair. The bottom half of the burger bun literally disintegrated in my hands and had to turn it upside down just to keep it together.

Need to figure out how to stop it from disintegrating like that.

Also more cooking time needed for Patties. Maybe 2 more mins and higher temp.

Lightly fry the cut side of the bun in a frying pan until toasted. With the patties, rest them on some paper towel to soak up any excess oils.

Ok. I’ll give that a shot tomorrow.

Thanks!

Aaaand I'm home. I can confirm that the weather down here is factually worse than NSW.
